Overview
Property code: OC-APP

A gorgeous, period cottage at the heart of the Suffolk village of Westleton, this inviting holiday home is ideal for anyone wishing to enjoy both the countryside and the coast. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom property is 2.5 miles from the stretching pebble beach at Dunwich. Plan walks through the scenic countryside and woodland around you or across the colourful heath at Dunwich, known for its abundance of wildlife. Bird lovers can also visit RSPB Minsmere, 2.5 miles away. Dine out in one of the village pubs or venture 8 miles into Southwold, with its broad array of eateries. You can also browse in the independent shops here, spend time on the beach and stroll along the pier.

Open the front door to the cottage to find yourself in an inviting, open-plan lounge/diner with a pamment floor, exposed brick fireplace and beautiful, heavy, timber beams across the ceiling. This leads through to the kitchen, where you will find all the modern appliances you will need during your stay. Stairs that are steep, yet with ample width, lead up from the lounge to the first floor. Here there are two lovely bedrooms – one a king, and one a twin with 2'6 beds which can be arranged as a king if requested at time of booking.

I would rate this property at the very low end of a 3 star rating. First impressions were of a lovely and very old little cottage with tons of original features as you would expect. But when you start looking it needs more love and care given to it.

Apple Tree cottage is set right in the heart of Westleton. 200 yard walk across the green to the White Horse. Great food and a proper local. About the same distance to the Westleton Crown..very good Sunday lunch. The cottage is a 5 minute drive to Dunwhich Beachthere is a bridal path across Westleton Heath but some of the walk is on the road (not tRead moreoo busy but quite narrow). The cottage is small but very comfortable and well equipped. It has a beautiful secure rear garden and was a great base to visit Sutton Hoo, Framlingham and Southwold.

Very good location for bird watchers/walkers etc. The Crown offers good food and is only a brief walk away. Cottage is comfortable but could be a very tight fit for four people.

It was really easy to make the booking and the communication was excellent. We liked that cottage and it was just fine for what we were wanting and it met our expectations according to the description. Some more walking related information would have been good including circular walks of say 7 or 8 miles plus.

Apple Tree Cottage is ideal for a couple or a small family as it is well equipped and cosy. There are some great places to visit locally or within a short drive, Westleton Heath is beautiful. The two nearby pubs offer great food and a friendly atmosphere (including welcoming a dog!). We had a lovely relaxing stay at Apple Tree Cottage.

Fantastic location, great secure garden, lounge and bedrooms very comfortable. Our main issue was the general dustiness of the property (TV cabinet and DVD player covered in thick layer of dust), dust and fluff around the floor spaces, and kitchen utensils and cups requiring a good wash before use. The cooking equipment was very dated, especially tRead morehe frying pans which made cooking a little more challenging than it should be.

We loved our three nights at Appletree Cottage. It was a very cold March weekend, so cosiness was very important! The cottage is warm, cosy, easy to feel at home in and decorated in lovely warm colours. Everything worked - really important especially on a short break..The information provided, both about the cottage itself and the surrounding areaRead more, was very helpful. We loved our free goodies too! One of the best cottages we've stayed in. Would definitely go back. Hide

Appletree cottage was warm and cozy during a very cold spell. Very well equipped, and a comfortable bed. The position is excellent for getting around in the vicinity, lots of great dog walks. A lovely garden for those warmer days. Praise to Suffolk secrets for sorting out an extended stay, that was hassle free for us.
